A decade at Albany

Marking a milestone in paradise—where world-class golf meets island luxury

This year, the Hero World Challenge celebrates the tournament’s 10th edition at the luxury resort community of Albany in The Bahamas. With a rich tournament history dating back to its inaugural event in January of 2000, the Hero World Challenge has brought together the world’s top-ranked players for unforgettable competition, camaraderie and hospitality.

The event’s decade-long residency at Albany stands as a testament to the resort’s vision: to be not just a destination, but a place where the best in the world come together—on and off the green.
